Stay vigilant! A mysterious message in the official CoD app teases a potential event for today, May 21, for Call of Duty: Warzone. Find out here why you should keep an eye on the Battle Royale mode and Call of Duty in general today. Perhaps a live event will kick off.
What is the message about? Recently, numerous users received a mysterious message via the official “Call of Duty” app. The communication hints that something might happen in Call of Duty: Warzone today, May 21 – possibly some kind of event.
What does the mysterious message say? The message is quite cryptic and speaks of intercepted communication from a regional command post of the terrorist organization Al-Qatala outside of Verdansk (the current Warzone map).
The message requests an urgent conversation with an unknown person. The presumed recipient is a target in Denver.
The timing of the meeting is unknown, but May 21, that is today, is suspected. The location is yet to be confirmed. Surveillance activities have been authorized. One should stay vigilant and wait for the enemy’s position.
What could happen today in Warzone or around Call of Duty?
What does the message mean now? This is still not entirely clear. However, it is certain that it serves as a warning of a new threat to Verdansk. Players are urged to keep their eyes open. Because it looks like something will happen in Verdansk today, May 21. But what?
Currently, there are 2 common theories about what we might expect today around Warzone or generally about Call of Duty.
Theory 1: They will reveal Call of Duty 2020
Call of Duty 2020 will be revealed or teased: Some believe that today the new Call of Duty 2020 will be officially announced or at least teased.
This announcement might happen via an in-game event in Warzone. After all, Warzone is supposed to become a constant and a link between the annual “Call of Duty” installments according to the developers.
According to the latest leaks and rumors, the new CoD is expected to be titled Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and is likely to be a soft reboot of the popular Black Ops series. A similar reboot was done by Modern Warfare in 2019.
The recent events and findings in CoD Warzone fit well with this theory. For example, the recent Update 1.21 activated the mysterious bunkers. In addition, there were hidden, cryptic clues in the patch notes, and mysterious Russian phone calls have sparked various discussions since the patch.
Particularly, the mysterious Bunker 11 could play an important role. It stands out significantly from all other bunkers. An atomic weapon was found there, and the bunker gave a hint of the Cold War with its interior – fitting the alleged info about CoD 2020.
Additionally, dataminers have now discovered a remote-controlled bomb car in the game data, an iconic killstreak from the Black Ops series, as well as a Cold War-inspired spy plane that closely resembles the reconnaissance drone from Black Ops.
The reveal or tease of Call of Duty 2020 could take place, for example, through an in-game event where we encounter a known character from the Black Ops series (perhaps Target Denver?) and are accompanied by a short teaser clip on social media.
Theory 2: In-game event in CoD Warzone
An in-game event in CoD Warzone with consequences: Others believe it is conceivable that today the first in-game event in the Warzone could take place. After all, the developers have already announced that they will rely on events like in Fortnite.
It is also considered possible that within this framework, the Warzone map could change – whether through a potential dam break, which has been speculated for a while, or through an explosion of the atomic bomb recently found in the mysterious Bunker 11.
Stay vigilant: However, it is not ruled out that something completely different might happen or that nothing happens at all – at least not in-game. Because some fans believe that today “simply” Call of Duty 2020 could be announced solely through social media and the official app, and that the message was just a hint to keep an eye out.
Whatever happens today – it will definitely be exciting. So keep your eyes open. And if you notice anything special or extraordinary in the game – let us and other readers know here in the comments. Stay vigilant!
